Authentic Me - A poem

Authentic Me

I've never known a life like this.
Never thought I'd be on the inside.
I never dreamt that this life 
Had so many secrets to hide.

Where do I go from here?!
Under which rock do I find the key?
The search for truth evades my grasp.
How do I find the authentic me?

The passion burns, boils, bubbles over.
Listen as my soul sings.
Soaring, swooping, spinning out of control,
Taking flight with my butterfly wings.

Where do I go from here?!
Under which rock do I find the key?
The search for truth evades my grasp.
Where do I find the authentic me?

Authentic me,
Where have you been?
Hiding all this time inside
My own candy coated dream.

Authentic me,
Please stop screaming!
I try too hard, I fall so fast.
Show me more strength than that!

Am I always in the wrong?
Will my instincts fail me all along?
The loneliness I feel sometimes
Feels similar to losing my mind.

Does anyone out there hear me?
I've felt aimless for so long.
How am I meant to live this life?
Save my soul before its gone.

Where do I go from here?!
Under which rock do I find the key?
The search for truth evades my grasp.
Who is the authentic me?
